Hoima Municipal Councilors want the Mayor, Grace Mary Mugasa
and former Town Clerk, David Kyansanku investigated for alleged misuse of
Shillings 600million for the renovation and expansion of the administration
block. The renovation and expansion works started in May 2017 under
Mazima and Company Limited, a local construction firm at Shillings 600 million.
The works that were expected to end in November 2019 have since stalled. The
Municipality decided to carry out the renovation and expansion works to address
the problem of space when it was elevated from a town council in 2010.
According to councilors, they passed a budget of over Shillings 600
million in the 2016/2017 and 2017/2018 financial years respectively for
the works.
They however, express concern that the renovation and expansion of the
administration block has never been completed to date. The councilors say
their demands for explanation from the Mayor and town clerk on why the work has
stalled haven’t yielded results. Godfrey Azoora, the Bujura Ward Councilor in
Bujumbura division wants government to institute a special committee to
investigate how the Shillings 600M was used.
